Anderson has a new look as he attempts to get back into the Manchester United first-team.
Wah Anderson a pre fam???????? lmao!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/q1UCRmQSU9— Jean Jordan (@iAmJDJordan) December 12, 2014
Manchester United midfielder Anderson has not made many headlines for his contribution on the pitch in recent times, but the Brazilian has surprised off it, showing up to training with a new hairstyle.
Anderson was pictured alongside Radamel Falcao with a shaved bleach blond hairdo, perhaps in an attempt to get manager Louis van Gaal’s attention.
The former FC Porto player arrived at Old Trafford with a huge reputation but he has flattered to deceive for far too long and with his current contract expiring in the summer it appears his time at United is coming to an end.
Van Gaal recently questioned Anderson’s fitness and having made just two appearances for the club this season the future does not look as bright as his new haircut.
That said, he is still only 26 and a change of scene could see him fulfil some of the potential that led former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to once compare him to Paul Scholes.

- Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana could face United on Sunday despite suffering broken ribs.
Lallana, 26, sustained the injury during the 3-1 league victory at Leicester on December 2 and, having undergone pain-killing injections to play in the 0-0 draw against Sunderland last Saturday, was left on the bench for Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Basel.
The 24-year-old has not played since the 2-1 Premier League defeat at home to Chelsea on November 8. His injury forced him to pull out of the Italy squad for their Euro 2016 qualifier against Croatia eight days later.
But he has a chance of being involved at Old Trafford, where he scored twice in a 6-1 Manchester City victory on his last visit in October 2011.
Balotelli has not scored a league goal since his arrival from AC Milan for £16 million in August. And his form has been so poor that his long-term future at Anfield has been called into question just four months after he signed a three-year contract.
Manager Brendan Rodgers must decide whether to recall the striker as he bids to kick-start a season that has been a disappointment so far.
Rodgers' side are ninth in the Premier League - having finished second last season - and were eliminated from the Champions League by Swiss side Basel on Tuesday. They are also struggling for goals, having scored 11 times in their last 12 matches in all competitions.
The manager still has the full support of club owners Fenway Sports Group, but his team are six points adrift of a qualification spot for next season's Champions League, with key matches against United and Arsenal to come before Christmas.

“He’s come back unbelievably quickly” – Louis van Gaal pleased with return of Jesse Lingard
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has praised the recovery time of talented youngster Jesse Lingard saying that he was impressed the player could come back from injury so quickly.
Lingard was a surprise inclusion in Van Gaal’s first competitive game, a 2-1 defeat at home to Swansea City, but his performance was cut short when he had to be taken off with a nasty looking knee injury.
The original diagnosis was that he wouldn’t played again until 2015 but Lingard has worked hard at his recovery and he has now returned to first-team training
Speaking to MUTV Van Gaal said “He’s come back unbelievably quickly because we thought it would take longer,
“I’m very pleased with him. But I don’t want to say too much about the injured players, because we have a squad which has to solve that [selection] problem.”
Van Gaal touched upon the injury situation that United have experienced this season with many suggesting that United have suffered 40 different injuries over the course of the season.
The situation has divided opinion amongst United fans with some blaming bad luck and some blaming the methods imposed by Van Gaal and his coaching staff.
Ashley Young declares himself fit to play Liverpool
Ashley Young has shrugged off any hint that he might be injured for Manchester United's game against Liverpool this weekend and declared himself fit.
The 29-year-old looked in some discomfort after United's 2-1 victory over Southampton on Monday leading to some concerns he may be forced to miss Liverpool on Sunday.
Although Young admits he does feel a bit sore, he is confident he'll be available for selection: "I'm a little bit sore. You have these little knocks and bruises but dust yourself off and away you go again.”
In Luke Shaw's absence, Young has stepped in at left-back and recaptured some of his pre-season form which was fantastic. His final ball might still be lacking but given that he is playing in a complete unnatural position, Young has done very well to fill a gap Louis van Gaal needed filled.
Young will have a tough game on Sunday up against Raheem Sterling given how agile and quick the Liverpool winger is, so United fans will be hoping Young can continue to improve on his solid recent form.

Manchester United players brought some festive cheer to several brave fans suffering from serious and life-limiting illnesses.
Captain Wayne Rooney, Angel Di Maria, Darren Fletcher and Robin Van Persie welcomed the supporters to the club's Aon Training Complex as part of its 'Dream Days' initiative - where they signed autographs and posed for pictures.
One particular young fan, George Bould, who suffers from a rare form of kidney cancer was interviewed alongside Van Persie by BBC Sport for Football Focus and Match of the Day.

'He signed all my stuff and was really nice.'
The eight-year-old presented the Dutchman with a homemade bracelet, which he proudly posed with on his Instagram page.
Van Persie said: 'It's very important to give something back to all our fans, especially fans that have gone through a difficult time in their own way, so it gives me a great feeling to see all these smiles today.

The Manchester United Foundation has been running the Dream Days Scheme for 20 years and is hosted in partnership with charities including Starlight Children's Foundation, The Willow Foundation and Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity.
Another fan, James Barber, 29, was thrilled to fulfil a lifelong ambition of meeting United legend Ryan Giggs
He said: 'It's been great to be honest.
Darren Fletcher was also involved to make the dreams of several youngsters come true
Assistant manager Ryan Giggs met some of the older supporters on a day they will never forget
'To meet my favourite players, just to meet them in the flesh and get their autographs is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
'I was quite nervous this morning, but once I actually met them, they are just normal everyday people.'
Giggs, currently assistant manager to Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford, said: 'It's important to do things like this, it gives the kids a lift and we as players love getting involved, especially around Christmas time.'
